Investments
Locked

Shhhhh... quiet please. You guys need to cool it on the “radios are not an investment “ talk. Loose lips like that could cause all manner of marital strife. It has taken me years to convince the XYL that buying ham gear was bolstering our retirement portfolio!! Please don’t let the cat out of the bag...

Both of your wives could be making money through their art which is more than any of us hams can do.

The quilting machine my wife bought when she took it up would buy 2 fully
loaded K3s "Contester/DXer" packages. That's just the machine not the fabric or thread. Before she passed I had gotten very well acquainted with the vagaries of quilting thread and fabric retailers.

I never have to worry about what to get my wife for a present - a gift card to the local branch of a national-chain Art Supply House works every time. No need to waste money on perishables like candy or flowers. :-) Does Elecraft have gift cards? :-) 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
